COLLABORATION AT WORK & THE IMPORTANCE OF UC&C

ost businesses rely on a long list of hardware, software and other technologies to keep employees productive and aid them in collaborating and communicating with co-workers.

UC&C helps businesses streamline those tools to provide employees with simple, cohesive and reliable systems. When implemented effectively, UC&C tools increase team responsiveness and employee satisfaction.

Task management

Task management can be considered one of the most critical purposes of UC&C, having this function available on any platform enables employees and teams to track the progress of the entire lifecycle of tasks and projects from planning and creation through to execution and implementation This creates a touchpoint, so co-workers immediately know how far along tasks are

In a recent study, 80% of those who rated their productivity highly said they have the right technology and tools for the job1 This proves UC&C tools are useful for a productive and successful workflow�

Remote team collaboration

Near extinct are the days of completely in-person meetings An increasing number of employees are interested in flexible working, and a solid UC&C platform helps facilitate the feeling of being in the same room as your team even if you’re hundreds of miles away

The next generation of employees will expect to use video for communication and collaboration, 62% of them already use video technology to share information in their daily lives2 Fortunately, video conferencing is a must-have for many UC&C solution systems to include in their plans To go from text to video in only a single button press is a very attractive and seamless way of working for employees

Increase team responsiveness

Businesses that support remote work tend to have more responsive and engaged employees than in-office configurations Recent research suggests that 60% of employees cite mobile technology as a major contributor to their increased productivity3

As people become more reliant on technology; especially when it comes to mobile devices, there is an increasing demand for UC&C solutions to flexibly adapt so they can be used on a wide range of devices, allowing productivity to continue Employees can simply sign into their preferred device from any location alerting colleagues to their presence and availability Moreover, when using UC&C tools to manage tasks and communications employees can respond and complete deliverables from anywhere

Streamlined processes

UC&C technologies save time and facilitate staff productivity. Giving everyone the ability to connect to each other as readily as possible. A unified workforce makes teams more efficient and effective.

The knowledge of how technology can bring people closer within the office, rather than replace employees is key to how we can understand the future of UC&C solutions and the benefits they can have on productivity. 1
